'Paris' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, dark dress with a deep V-neck and fitted waist. The fabric looks smooth but has a few sharp creases, especially at the hips. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the dress flares slightly at the bottom. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the dress, with some cross-hatching on the skirt to add texture. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the outfit. Want to see more? Look up cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
